Magnetoresistance Element
For the availability of this product, please contact the sales office.
Description
The DM-106B is a highly sensitive magnetoresistance element composed of an evaporated
ferromagnetic alloy on a silicon substrate. (The
element can be used for automatic shut off of tape
recorders, as a contactless switch, and as a general
detector of rotational motion.)

Changes occur to the output voltage at the saturation region
of V-H curve according to the direction of magnetic flux.
These changes provide for the operation.
• With one rotation of magnetic flux, signals for 2 periods are
obtained.
